My friend Diego Vicamini is a very high-talented guy with a huge-experience in the HR and recruiting area.

Just for the italians readers I'd like to invite them on his new site http://www.chelavorodim.it that is a blog with suggestions to people that want to move-on and improve their career (I'd also love so much the site name, but I guess it's better avoiding to translate it...)

Diego is also involved in the startup of www.agork.it that is a great idea of having a service-provider tailored to small and medium size companies for corporate blogging, wikis and knowledge-sharing. The business model is based on subscriptions and advertising.

I was very impressed from the idea also if we choosed for a custom in-house solution built on Sharepoint 3.0 (...well we're an ICT company)

The last wednesday I've spoken @ The Developers Group in Microsoft Cardinal Place (London UK).

It has been my second session with them (the first-one was on 14th May still in Microsoft Victoria).

During the may session, I've talked about:

Introduction to Sharepoint Services and MOSS

Overview of WSS v3 and MOSS 2007 features and functionality

Navigation and taxonomy

Access control and security

Site columns

Content types

Lists and Views

During the this week session, the content was:

Sharepoint Services as a Developer Platform: How to Develop & Deploy Web Parts

Visual Studio Extensions for SharePoint 1.2

Web Part Development

How to Deploy Code and Resources

Site Properties

This time I was in trouble with my virtual-machine performances (it's not so easy a development live session with a 15 GB VMs running on a Laptop...) and also with my strong italian accent (ok Joanna I confident that I'll be able to learn to cut the words! :-D )

I like enjoy these meetings, the partecipants are great and sessions very interesting (...not the mine).

I've just created my new wonderful and delicious virtual machine (over VPC 2007) clicking on next, next, next :-D

I installed Win2008, MOSS, SQL 2005 and everything was running fast and fine while I tryed to install VS 2008 and realized that next, next, next wasn't a good idea (always think to what you're doing!). 16 GB weren't enough...

Instead of adding another virtual disk having 2 differents VHDs, I found this great tool:
